It is so amazing that there actually will be a new chapter next week.

Found this on /a/. With that link with a part of the interview in Chinese.

If I understood it right, he stopped HxH because he had gained weight and it caused the backache problem, he was not practicing so he started doing it, progressively lost weight and he is healthy now, this is the reason why he decided to come back. He is planning to run a marathon.

 

[Copy Panda]

Nice, glad he tackled that and came out on top

Like a real hunter

Wow, if that's a recent pic of him he looks rather healthy to, not a bad complexion and good on him for tackling his back issue by understanding the reasoning behind it.

 

[shionoro]

Wow, running a marathon at his age is not too shabby.
training for the hunter exam i guess 0.o

I will get really nervous arround the tenth chapter, that's for sure ^^

However, witht he new direction the last chapter took us, i think i can see why - even without health problems - he needs preparation time in arcs like these to get the whole political and intrigue thingy right.

 

[Sachsenhesse]

that was probably more text in one chapter then bleach had in the last 3 months together

 

[shionoro]

The whole new arc seems to be exspecially text heavy.
I like that tho, you get the most out of the chapter.

Some interviews i read by ppl who draw comics mentioned that it does take some balls to just make a drawed out fighting scene over several panels with no text, because people begin to complain that barely anything happened in one issue, which leads to the rather nonsensial 'talking smack while fighting' thing.

But i have always felt like the problem is vice versa in the manga business. To just let some people fight seems to be the easiest way to 'not break anything' in a fighting manga and also the thing people do want to see.Or at least many mangaka seem to think that.

Transitions usually have a bad reputation because they are a drag if there is no effort put into them.
They usually mean that people go from a to b and the chapter ends in a cliffhanger with some evil guy appearing.

I have no doubt that with other mangaka who do not have the sweet time togashi has and who have to think very carefully about how much content they can write without writing themselves into a corner or contridicting themselves would have had to draw this chapter out and let the cliffhanger point come at the moment kurapica met oito.
Some more talking drawn over some more pages, some more biske being annoiying, maybe filler page more of kurapica walking to oito's place and you're done for the week.

I think if more mangakas had months or even years of time of thinking ahead about how they want to write an arc or several arcs, we would get more manga with a very high quality, even in the shonen business.

On the other hand, before the second half of the chimera ant arc, togashi's hiatusses were usually 2-6 weeks, so he is still kinda amazing for pulling off the stuff that was going on in those arcs without many breaks (it were insanely many pauses for the manga business, but compared to the time between comic issues in the west it was nothing at all).

All in all, i am really glad the chapters are as filled with dialogie as they are tho.
I think it would be hard to take to wait years and years and then get 50%+ nonplotmoving panels.

Does anybody know where can i find the databooks translated to english? Me and my friend are doing a detailed ranking of power and we need that info! I will be infinitely thankful for the help. Greetings from Chile!

 

[Copy Panda]

Honestly I think you're best off using the HxH wiki, it gives surprisingly accurate information afaik

 

[Kanmuru]

Just did this one, the last chapter got me that excited xD
